Chapter Five

Alexander POV

 

"Look at you Alex, finally being a man huh?" Reed my cousin laughs deeply from across me

 

"I'm not speaking to you Reed, I'm speaking to the lawyer" I turn away from him, "Mr. Chambers, give me a few more days, and my wife will be present right here, we are very happy together," I say gritting my teeth.

 

"I understand you Alex, but your grand-father was clear with his will, if you are not married to a woman you love wholeheartedly and confirmed by I and your mother, the property as well as the Bianchi Cartel will all be transferred to your cousin Reed, who is already married with an heir" he sighs, "I can't do anything about it unless you provide one in five days"

 

"Could be magic, Alex can't seem to keep a woman around him for long, they always run away screaming" Reed laughs deeply

 

"The Bianchi Cartel has been flourishing under my rule this entire time, Reed will run it into the ground, The mafia is something we need to handle delicately, Mr. Chambers, you know that"

 

Reed rolls his eyes, standing up, "Give it up Alex, I win, you lose, as always" he laughs deeply, hitting my back as he walks out of the room.

 

"Mr Chambers," I say turning to him and ignoring the piece of shit that is Reed.

 

"I can't do anything for you Alex" he shrugs standing up and closing his briefcase, "You have five days" he nods walking out of the room

 

I punch the mahogany table in anger, almost screaming to myself when I hear my phone ring, I quickly pick up the call without looking at the ID.

 

"Mr. Bianchi, Shes awake sir"

 

I frown pulling the phone from my ear and looking down at the caller ID, "St Lucas Wellness Center" My heart immediately jumps in my chest, Elena is awake.

 

ELENA POV

 

In the morning, we leave the hotel, "We just have to drop by my office and sign the documents and we are good to go" Alex says turning his head to me slightly, noticing the absent look in my eyes

 

"Are you okay?" he raises a row at me, his eyes twinkling under the morning sun.

 

"Do you think anyone is searching for me?"

 

"Not that I know of Elena, I'll make more inquiries if you desire

 

I nod, "Where do you work? What do you do?" I send him a short smile, being around him makes me so relaxed.

 

He smirks turning slightly to me, "Well, I come from a good family, who invested well, that much I can say, we have a few companies littered around the world, but I'm more into shipping, that should give you a bit of an idea"

 

"So shipping docks?" I raise a brow at him

 

"Something like that, just on a very large scale" he nods, turning to the side, I notice the black suit he pulled on this morning, he looks clean, neat, handsome, enough to make any woman fall deeply for him.

 

I pat down on my white dress, he grabbed it for me and told me to wear it as we will be taking a few pictures after the court wedding, something to show his family I guess.

 

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Someone that would clearly do this for you" I raise a brow at him, why me? Where are you waiting for me?

 

"No I don't have one" he turns away, a scrunch on his forehead "And, I wanted someone, my Cousin would not have access to, someone that cannot be bribed easily or moved by his antics, he can be very convincing when he wants to.

 

"And I was not waiting for you, Elena, you woke up at the right time, I guess I'm just lucky" he nods the car coming to a stop in front of a high-end building, glasses decorating the sides.

 

"Wait here, the driver will take you to the parking lot and l will get the contract and bring it to you, is that fine?" he watches my face, maybe my emotions or my reaction to him.

 

I nod, watching him leave, a guard by his side, I watch as a woman in a red skirt and black shirt approaches him, the car moving forward, and soon we enter an underground parking lot.

 

Somehow, I feel safe with Alexander, I don't know what is, or if I feel safe due to the fact he picked me up from the hospital, but he makes me feel like I've known him for ages, he makes me feel comfortable, I sigh, turning to the driver as we park in the underground parking lot.

 

"I need to take a breather," I tell the driver pushing the door open and coming out, I close the door gently turning to rest my back on the door, the parking lot is filled with a few cars, and a single elevator at the end of the room.

 

I close my eyes breathing in, when I hear a car drive into the parking lot, turning my head to the side, I stare at the black SUV, my eyes moving to the plate number D. Russo

 

I frown my eyes flashing white for a moment, my head starts to ache badly making me let out a scream as I fall to the ground.

 

The last thing I hear before I pass out is Alex calling out my name "Elena"
